WELCOME!

Welcome to our on-line Social Security workshop, designed to develop informed discussion about one of the most important issues of our times.

Is Social Security is in danger of "collapsing"? We don't think so. In fact, we believe the facts show Social Security is one of the most successful programs working people have in the USA — and the only real danger to it comes from politicians pushing "privatization" plans and efforts to turn our money over to Wall Street. Find out why in this on-line (and printable) workshop.
